As you know well, ODROID-X,X2,U2 don't have multi-point touch screen while Q2 has it.So there is no way to implement the pinch zoom feature.

But we found a brilliant idea and we are implementing it now.If you click the scroll-wheel on your mouse, the mouse cursor shape is change to "Magnifier" from "Arrow".When you scroll up the wheel in Magnifier mode, Zoom-out events are generated via multi-touch emulator.When you scroll down the wheel, Zoom-in events are generated.

If you see this video, you can feel how this new feature is great !!This implementation is still Work-In-Progress. We will fix some bugs and improve the usability.We are trying to release a new Android update by end of May.

We've tested the source codes with ARM Ubuntu on ODROID-X/X2/U2 which utilize the Mali GPU accelation in x11 window system.But a few examples are not working due to some misused APIs. So we've fixed them and released the modified source codes.Linux_X11_MaliTest.tar.gz

We've tested these examples on the ODROID and captured the running applications.

There was one old man who came with his wife to show her ODROID-U2. He wanted to change her PC to ODROID-U2. She was very happy to use ODROID-U2 for her next PC. There was also lots of men who came with their kids. There was one kid who knew about RPI. The kid wanted to know the difference between ODROID-U2 and RPI. What one guy said was "RPI is the raspberry pie, and ODROID-U2 is the wedding cake" We all laughed a lot.
